Therefore, it is favorable for adjusting the relative position between the aperture stop and the first lens element so as to reduce the influence of temperature variation on peripheral relative illuminance. Moreover, the following condition can also be satisfied: 1.00<Dr1s/Dsr2. Please refer to FIG. 31 , which shows a schematic view of Dr1s and Dsr2 according to the 1st embodiment of the present disclosure. When the direction from one element to another element is facing towards the image side of the imaging system lens assembly, the value of displacement is positive; when the direction from one element to another element is facing towards the object side of the imaging system lens assembly, the value of displacement is negative.

Therefore, adjusting the ratio of distances between each of all adjacent lens elements so as to balance the space arrangement of the lens elements is favorable for obtaining a balance between reducing manufacturing errors and reducing temperature change effects. Moreover, the following condition can also be satisfied: 0.03<(T12+T45+T56)/(T23+T34)≤1.20.

When a curvature radius of the object-side surface of the third lens element is R5, and the curvature radius of the image-side surface of the third lens element is R6, the following condition can be satisfied: −7.00<R5/R6<3.20. Therefore, it is favorable for adjusting the surface shape of the third lens element so as to reduce optically effective diameters of the lens elements at the middle part of the imaging system lens assembly. Moreover, the following condition can also be satisfied: −3.50<R5/R6<3.00.

Moreover, the following condition can also be satisfied: −0.50<f123/f456<2.50.

When a vertical distance between a critical point on the image-side surface of the sixth lens element and the optical axis is Yc62, and the maximum effective radius of the image-side surface of the sixth lens element is Y62, the image-side surface of the sixth lens element can have at least one critical point in the off-axis region thereof satisfying the following condition: 0.15<Yc62/Y62<0.70. Therefore, adjusting the position of the critical point(s) of the image-side surface of the sixth lens element so as to adjust the incident angle of light on the image surface is favorable for maintaining image quality at various object distances. Please refer to FIG. 29 , which shows a schematic view of Yc62 and Y62 according to the 1st embodiment of the present disclosure.

According to the present disclosure, the aforementioned features and conditions can be utilized in numerous combinations so as to achieve corresponding effects.

According to the present disclosure, the lens elements of the imaging system lens assembly can be made of either glass or plastic material. When the lens elements are made of glass material, the refractive power distribution of the imaging system lens assembly may be more flexible, and the influence on imaging caused by external environment temperature change may be reduced. The glass lens element can either be made by grinding or molding. When the lens elements are made of plastic material, the manufacturing costs can be effectively reduced. Furthermore, surfaces of each lens element can be arranged to be spherical or aspheric. Spherical lens elements are simple in manufacture. Aspheric lens element design allows more control variables for eliminating aberrations thereof and reducing the required number of lens elements, and the total track length of the imaging system lens assembly can therefore be effectively shortened. Additionally, the aspheric surfaces may be formed by plastic injection molding or glass molding.

According to the present disclosure, when a lens surface is aspheric, it means that the lens surface has an aspheric shape throughout its optically effective area, or a portion(s) thereof.

According to the present disclosure, one or more of the lens elements' material may optionally include an additive which generates light absorption and interference effects and alters the lens elements' transmittance in a specific range of wavelength for a reduction in unwanted stray light or color deviation. For example, the additive may optionally filter out light in the wavelength range of 600 nm to 800 nm to reduce excessive red light and/or near infrared light; or may optionally filter out light in the wavelength range of 350 nm to 450 nm to reduce excessive blue light and/or near ultraviolet light from interfering the final image. The additive may be homogeneously mixed with a plastic material to be used in manufacturing a mixed-material lens element by injection molding. Moreover, the additive may be coated on the lens surfaces to provide the abovementioned effects.

According to the present disclosure, each of an object-side surface and an image-side surface has a paraxial region and an off-axis region. The paraxial region refers to the region of the surface where light rays travel close to the optical axis, and the off-axis region refers to the region of the surface away from the paraxial region. Particularly, unless otherwise stated, when the lens element has a convex surface, it indicates that the surface is convex in the paraxial region thereof; when the lens element has a concave surface, it indicates that the surface is concave in the paraxial region thereof. Moreover, when a region of refractive power or focus of a lens element is not defined, it indicates that the region of refractive power or focus of the lens element is in the paraxial region thereof.

According to the present disclosure, an inflection point is a point on the surface of the lens element at which the surface changes from concave to convex, or vice versa. A critical point is a non-axial point of the lens surface where its tangent is perpendicular to the optical axis.

According to the present disclosure, the image surface of the imaging system lens assembly, based on the corresponding image sensor, can be flat or curved, especially a curved surface being concave facing towards the object side of the imaging system lens assembly.

According to the present disclosure, an image correction unit, such as a field flattener, can be optionally disposed between the lens element closest to the image side of the imaging system lens assembly along the optical path and the image surface for correction of aberrations such as field curvature. The optical properties of the image correction unit, such as curvature, thickness, index of refraction, position and surface shape (convex or concave surface with spherical, aspheric, diffractive or Fresnel types), can be adjusted according to the design of the image capturing unit. In general, a preferable image correction unit is, for example, a thin transparent element having a concave object-side surface and a planar image-side surface, and the thin transparent element is disposed near the image surface.

According to the present disclosure, at least one light-folding element, such as a prism or a mirror, can be optionally disposed between an imaged object and the image surface on the imaging optical path, such that the imaging system lens assembly can be more flexible in space arrangement, and therefore the dimensions of an electronic device is not restricted by the total track length of the imaging system lens assembly. Specifically, please refer to FIG. 32 and FIG. 33 . FIG. 32 shows a schematic view of a configuration of a light-folding element in an imaging system lens assembly according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 33 shows a schematic view of another configuration of a light-folding element in an imaging system lens assembly according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. In FIG. 32 and FIG. 33 , the imaging system lens assembly can have, in order from an imaged object (not shown in the figures) to an image surface IMG along an optical path, a first optical axis OA1, a light-folding element LF and a second optical axis OA2. The light-folding element LF can be disposed between the imaged object and a lens group LG of the imaging system lens assembly as shown in FIG. 32 or disposed between a lens group LG of the imaging system lens assembly and the image surface IMG as shown in FIG. 33 . Furthermore, please refer to FIG. 34 , which shows a schematic view of a configuration of two light-folding elements in an imaging system lens assembly according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. In FIG. 34 , the imaging system lens assembly can have, in order from an imaged object (not shown in the figure) to an image surface IMG along an optical path, a first optical axis OA1, a first light-folding element LF1, a second optical axis OA2, a second light-folding element LF2 and a third optical axis OA3. The first light-folding element LF1 is disposed between the imaged object and a lens group LG of the imaging system lens assembly, the second light-folding element LF2 is disposed between the lens group LG of the imaging system lens assembly and the image surface IMG, and the travelling direction of light on the first optical axis OA1 can be the same direction as the travelling direction of light on the third optical axis OA3 as shown in FIG. 34 . The imaging system lens assembly can be optionally provided with three or more light-folding elements, and the present disclosure is not limited to the type, amount and position of the light-folding elements of the embodiments disclosed in the aforementioned figures.

According to the present disclosure, the imaging system lens assembly can include at least one stop, such as an aperture stop, a glare stop or a field stop. Said glare stop or said field stop is set for eliminating the stray light and thereby improving image quality thereof.

According to the present disclosure, an aperture stop can be configured as a front stop or a middle stop. A front stop disposed between an imaged object and the first lens element can provide a longer distance between an exit pupil of the imaging system lens assembly and the image surface to produce a telecentric effect, and thereby improves the image-sensing efficiency of an image sensor (for example, CCD or CMOS). A middle stop disposed between the first lens element and the image surface is favorable for enlarging the viewing angle of the imaging system lens assembly and thereby provides a wider field of view for the same.

According to the present disclosure, the imaging system lens assembly can include an aperture control unit. The aperture control unit may be a mechanical component or a light modulator, which can control the size and shape of the aperture through electricity or electrical signals. The mechanical component can include a movable member, such as a blade assembly or a light shielding sheet. The light modulator can include a shielding element, such as a filter, an electrochromic material or a liquid-crystal layer. The aperture control unit controls the amount of incident light or exposure time to enhance the capability of image quality adjustment. In addition, the aperture control unit can be the aperture stop of the present disclosure, which changes the f-number to obtain different image effects, such as the depth of field or lens speed.

According to the present disclosure, the imaging system lens assembly can include one or more optical elements for limiting the form of light passing through the imaging system lens assembly. Each optical element can be, but not limited to, a filter, a polarizer, etc., and each optical element can be, but not limited to, a single-piece element, a composite component, a thin film, etc. The optical element can be located at the front side or the rear side of the imaging system lens assembly or between any two adjacent lens elements so as to allow light in a specific form to pass through, thereby meeting application requirements.

According to the above description of the present disclosure, the following specific embodiments are provided for further explanation.

11th Embodiment

FIG. 21 is a perspective view of an image capturing unit according to the 11th embodiment of the present disclosure. In this embodiment, an image capturing unit 100 is a camera module including a lens unit 101, a driving device 102, an image sensor 103 and an image stabilizer 104. The lens unit 101 includes the imaging system lens assembly as disclosed in the 1st embodiment, a barrel and a holder member (their reference numerals are omitted) for holding the imaging system lens assembly. However, the lens unit 101 may alternatively be provided with the imaging system lens assembly disclosed in other embodiments of the present disclosure, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The imaging light converges in the lens unit 101 of the image capturing unit 100 to generate an image with the driving device 102 utilized for image focusing on the image sensor 103, and the generated image is then digitally transmitted to other electronic component for further processing.

The driving device 102 can have auto focusing functionality, and different driving configurations can be obtained through the usages of voice coil motors (VCM), micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), piezoelectric systems or shape memory alloy materials. The driving device 102 is favorable for obtaining a better imaging position of the lens unit 101, so that a clear image of the imaged object can be captured by the lens unit 101 with different object distances. The image sensor 103 (for example, CCD or CMOS), which can feature high photosensitivity and low noise, is disposed on the image surface of the imaging system lens assembly to provide higher image quality.

The image stabilizer 104, such as an accelerometer, a gyro sensor and a Hall Effect sensor, is configured to work with the driving device 102 to provide optical image stabilization (OIS). The driving device 102 working with the image stabilizer 104 is favorable for compensating for pan and tilt of the lens unit 101 to reduce blurring associated with motion during exposure. In some cases, the compensation can be provided by electronic image stabilization (EIS) with image processing software, thereby improving image quality while in motion or low-light conditions.

In this embodiment, a distance VL between the sixth lens element E6 and the image surface IMG of the imaging system lens assembly of the image capturing unit 100 is changeable, so that a total length of the image capturing unit 100 can be changed. For example, please refer to FIG. 35 , which shows schematic views of an imaging system lens assembly when the image capturing unit is in an extension state and the imaging system lens assembly when the image capturing unit is in a retraction state according to the 1st embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in the upper part of FIG. 35 , the image capturing unit 100 is in an extension state when capturing an image, and a distance from the object side surface of the first lens element E1 to the image surface IMG in the extension state is defined to be equal to a total length TTL1 of the image capturing unit 100 in the extension state. On the other hand, as shown in the lower part of FIG. 35 , the image capturing unit 100 is in a retraction state when not capturing an image, and a distance from the object side surface of the first lens element E1 to the image surface IMG in the retraction state is defined to be equal to a total length TTL2 of the image capturing unit 100 in the retraction state. In addition, the total length TTL2 of the image capturing unit 100 in the retraction state is smaller than 0.85 times of the total length TTL1 of the image capturing unit 100 in the extension state. Therefore, it is favorable for adjusting the ratio between the lengths of the image capturing unit 100 in the extension state and the retraction state, so that the imaging system lens assembly features long focal length and high magnification ratio within limited interior space. Furthermore, a long-focus lens (e.g., a portrait lens) can realize larger magnification ratio, and with the adjustment of the amount of incident light, the long-focus lens can achieve a shallower depth of field, which is favorable for blurring the background to make the subject sharper and more vivid.

According to the present disclosure, the image capturing unit 100 with a long back focal length is provided. A light-folding element can be disposed in a space (e.g., the space between the most-image-side lens element and the image surface) located on the rear side (i.e., the image side) of the lens group of the imaging system lens assembly for folding light, or the space can accommodate the lens group for achieving retractable functionality, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Therefore, the imaging system lens assembly can be more flexible in space arrangement, and therefore the dimensions of an electronic device is not restricted by the total track length of the imaging system lens assembly. Take the imaging system lens assembly of the present disclosure applied to a telescopic lens as an example, the imaging system lens assembly can be in two states which are an imaging state and a non-imaging state. When in the imaging state, the imaging system lens assembly meets the requirements of large aperture, long focal length, and high image quality. When the imaging system lens assembly is in the non-imaging state, the lens group of the imaging system lens assembly is retracted into the space on the rear side thereof so as to reduce the total length and size. The above described configurations are only exemplary for showing some actual applications of the present disclosure, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
